Chapter Seven A Beautiful Misunderstanding
I remember the first rest was after a morning exercise.
What is called morning exercise is to wake up before 6 o'clock every day and run around the training ground of the barracks for more than ten laps. The lap is not big, only about 200 meters, so it's not too tiring. It's just that we were used to getting up at 7 or 8 o'clock in our hometown, and suddenly our biological clock was disrupted, and we still wanted to sleep a little longer.
But can you imagine a military camp where people want to sleep in? That's unthinkable. All you need to do is think of 'Qiao Yan Wang' holding a thick tree branch from who-knows-which tree on the edge of the camp, grinning as he 'sweeps' through the barracks, one bed at a time, and anyone still lying down gets a whack. I guarantee that by the second morning, everyone will be jumping up at the sound of the whistle.
"Big Brother Hai shouldn't train today, right? Yesterday we had a platoon training session at the regimental headquarters for new recruits' inspection and our score was third place in the whole regiment, excellent!"
Peng Zhuo, this little devil, is always messing around with the new recruits and even made friends with some old soldiers by offering them cigarettes. But now, after 'General Zhao' announced that we're dismissed for a break, he sat comfortably with me in the corner of the wall, basking in the morning sun, and said to me with a smile:
"Besides, today is Sunday, shouldn't we take a break? Look at those old class monitors, they're all resting and playing cards!"
The new recruits' barracks aren't actually isolated, we and the veteran soldiers all live in the same big camp, it's just that the veterans are very disciplined and rarely see them enter the yard where the new recruits live. At most, they just smile and watch the new recruits training during rest time, sometimes with a hint of nostalgia on their faces, I think they're also reminiscing about when they first entered the military camp.
"Really? I'm not too optimistic about your beautiful wishes!"
I narrowed my eyes and enjoyed the rare morning sun, basking in its warmth. The sunshine was so comfortable that I lazily said:
"I just saw 'Qiao Yan Wang' and two other squad leaders whispering to each other on the side, do you think something good will happen?"
Is it easy for me to be the third? 'Qiao Yanwang' doesn't know if he's intentionally teasing me or what, but I'm not too tall or too short, yet he actually made me stand in the first position of the team. His demands are simply like those of a ruthless landlord trying to squeeze out my last bit of energy. Every time we work overtime, it's always my turn. And in the end, he even shamelessly threatened me that if this team competition fails, you little brat will go hungry for a day!
My goodness! Who would have believed that the third place in the new recruit platoon of this entire army is actually my roommate from a day ago! Fortunately, at least I won't go hungry today. I'll hurry up and relax my extremely sore body during the last bit of free time!
"No way!"
Xiao Peng's eyes widened in surprise and he said with some sadness, "Don't they want to take a break and have some fun? Even writing a letter to their girlfriend would be good!"
"Hehe, I don't know if they have a girlfriend or not, but it's entertaining!"
I sneered and said with a still body: "Don't you think that torturing us is their greatest pleasure?"
After I finished saying the above words, I saw 'Qiao Yanwang' and two other squad leaders come out with a smile, while our little devil Peng Zhuo's face also turned white, it seems that he was very convinced by my words!
"Fall in line! You kids look like you're still half asleep. If you can't get into formation within thirty seconds, then don't bother eating!"
Actually, 'Qiao Yan Wang' seems to be in a pretty good mood lately. After all, our squad is still quite competitive, ranking third among the new recruits, which is impressive considering there are dozens or even hundreds of squads. He really has something to be proud of.
But I feel that the more he does this, the thicker our interest becomes. I really can't understand his strange thinking and can only scold him in my heart again as a 'pervert'.
"Haha, you guys have some good news, the queue and internal training are finally over, I'm about to welcome my long-awaited physical training! I'll be even more 'enthusiastic' in taking care of you, hoping you can give me a chance to take good care of you, otherwise... hehe..."
The "King of Qiao Yan" with a sarcastic smile seemed to be nervously shouting loudly, his eyes already revealing the so-called "passion", then pointing at the road outside the camp and roaring:
"You guys run from here along the barracks road all the way to a reservoir and then run back for half an hour, and the barracks will have dinner ready. If you don't come back, haha, then you won't get to eat!"
We were stuck in this camp and had never gone out before. We knew that there was a reservoir somewhere, right? I even secretly thought to myself, what if no one is leading the team, can we sneak out and escape?
"Aren't you guys running away? Don't you want to eat anymore?"
"Qiao Yan Wang" looked at our stunned faces and immediately changed his expression. He kicked the big guy at the head of the line with one foot and roared: "Faster, damn it! If you don't run faster, I'll break your legs!"
No need to say, 'Qiao Yan Wang' got angry and more than 30 people immediately ran away with a loud noise. It seems he's not joking around. Running out for a stroll isn't bad either. Anyway, no one is looking, right? I dare bet that at the time, many comrades had the same idea as me.
Like a flock of scattered wild ducks, we rushed out of the barracks and ran for a thousand meters in one breath. Of course, our mouths started to get a bit short of breath. Looking around and seeing no one, everyone unknowingly slowed down.
"This guy kicked me again and gave me a chance, I must get him back!"
The big guy who was kicked in the leg was a Beijinger named Zhang Fengbao. His height wasn't his fault, but he inevitably became the front row soldier, and just like me, couldn't avoid being taken care of by "Qiao Yanwang". At this time, he finally rushed out of the military camp, and he really couldn't help but throw out a ruthless remark, which really resonated with me!
"Turtle son drips..."
Before I could even speak up, a fellow Henan comrade's face turned red and his neck thickened as he bellowed it out.
"Don't look at him, he's already anxious, I'll take that drill and knock him dead..."
This brother from Tianjin has a very distinctive way of scolding people's grandmothers.
"Alright, I'm standing right here. If you've got the guts, come at me again! I'll smash your head with one punch!"
This guy from Anhui is too awesome.
……
After being suppressed for so long in the army, I was disciplined by "Jiao Yan Wang" and didn't even dare to breathe. It seemed like everything was released at once. The dialects from all over the country scolded him, and it felt great listening to them. I smiled and listened happily, even forgetting to scold him.
"My mother bought mung bean paste and I want to kill him..."
The little devil shouted out loud, and our hometown dialect was displayed here. But why did this kid scold for half and then stop?
I was still thinking about it when this kid suddenly ran out with a crying sound and shouted in a low voice: "Run fast, 'Qiao Yan Wang' is coming!"
Ah! We couldn't help but take a glance back.
Mom! Where did this guy get a broken bicycle from? He's waving a thick stick in his hand and chasing us down, looking at the ferocious smile on his face, my brother's face turned white instantly, the harsh words he just said were immediately forgotten, and we ran away faster than a chicken or dog.
Alas! What's wrong with this person...
I shook my head in frustration, but then I saw what happened later... and then I was the one running away the fastest? Cough, this must be a beautiful misunderstanding...
